5.0 out of 5 stars how do we know what we know?, June 16, 2000
By 
Carol H. Tucker (Silver Spring, MD USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Weans (Hardcover)
Stop and think about it -- with all the current buzz about knowledge management, the role of the cultural anthropologist has become even more vital to the real world of commerce.

Like the other two reviewers, I read this book some years ago as part and parcel of a college course in anthropology. It is a great allegorical reminder that there is no such thing as a historical fact, and that our assumptions about what happens in a culture are just that without being able to talk to the community itself!

I WANT this book and consider it a 'must read' for every person who intends to launch an initiative into the wilderness of organizational change and development.

I read this book back in college more than 20 years ago. I would love to be able to purchase it. Anyone know where I could get a copy?

5.0 out of 5 stars Guesswork or history, what is closer to the truth?, April 16, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Weans (Hardcover)
It has been abaout 15 years since I read the book, but at the time I felt it had humor as well as merit. It might make an interesting book for a Junior Great Books discussion.
